History 



BY DR. GEORGE L. FIELD 



Early in May, 1872, William C. Colburn, E. 
B. Smith, N. D. Lapham, A. M. VanDuser 
and Dr. George L. Field met in the book store 
of E. B. Smith and Company, then located un- 
der the old Russell House, and decided to form 
an organization with the view of building a Club 
House at the St. Clair Flats. A subscription 
paper was accordingly prepared, which is repro- 
duced on the opposite page. One day's soliciting 
among congenial friends who enjoyed fishing 
and duck-shooting, resulted in $1,325 being 
subscribed. 

The name chosen for the new organization 
was "The Lake St. Clair Fishing and Shoot- 
ing Club of Detroit." It was organized under 
the provisions of "An Act for the incorporation 
of Societies of Marksmen," passed by the Michi- 
gan Legislature of 1869, which provides, "that 
corporations may be organized under the pro- 
visions of this Act for the improvement and 
perfection of marksmen." 

At that time there was no shelter at the St. 
Clair Flats with the exception of the houses 
on the east bank of the South Channel, erected 
by men employed in building the ship canal for 
the United States Government. Therefore, 



the first step was to build a dock, at an expense 
of $630, in order that riie lumber for the Club 
House might be landed. The Club House was 
next erected under the direction and supervi- 
sion of Dr. George L. Field, at a total cost of 
$1,514.33, including a few extras. 

Twenty-six boat houses, each with a frontage 
of eight feet on the channel bank, were then 
built, twenty-four being for individual mem- 
bers, and two for the general use of the Club. 
Later the dock was extended toward the east 
and a new house to provide additional room 
was erected ; but even this was not sufficient 
for the growing needs of the Club, and after 
a few more years had passed a demand for still 
better accommodations led to the erection of the 
present Club House, which was completed and 
opened in the year 1887. 

When the original charter of The Lake St. 
Clair Fishing and Shooting Club expired in 
1902, it was re-incorporated under the name of 
"The Old Club," a title by which it had grad- 
ually become known, owing to its being the 
first club to own a house at the Flats. 

The original Articles of Association of the 
club provided for one thousand shares of 
stock of the par value of $25 each, giving the 
club a total authorized capital stock of $25,000. 
The total actual membership, however, was 
never allowed to exceed 300; and in 1888, the 
capital stock was reduced to three hundred 
shares of $25 each par value. During the suc- 
ceeding years the market price of the stock 
had a phenomenal rise, one share having been 



sold for $1,000, and many bringing over $500. 
The present membership is limited to 225 names. 

A remarkable feature in the history of the 
Club is the fact that during its entire existence 
of forty years it has had but four presi- 
dents, the first of whom was William C. Col- 
burn, who held that office from the time of 
the Club's organization until 1898. He was 
followed by Rufus W. Gillett, Thomas S. Mc- 
Graw and Richard P. Joy, the present incum- 
bent. 

But few of the original members of the Club 
remain. However, a comparison of the present 
enrollment with the Club's roster of thirty years 
ago will show that many of the old names have 
been succeeded by those of a second and third 
generation, thus showing a spirit of genial fel- 
lowship and loyalty in the past and insuring a 
prosperous future for The Old Club.

a time and place for the hearing of the same. 

(b) It shall be the duty of the Secretary 
to cause a true copy of such resolution, certi- 
fied by him, to be served upon such member, 
either personally or by mailing the same to him 
at his last known place of residence, at least 
ten days before the time fixed for the investiga- 
tion. Proof of such service, by affidavit or 
otherwise, shall be made before action is taken. 

(c) At the time specified in such resolution 
the Board of Directors shall meet at the place 
named and shall then and at such other time 
or times thereafter as they may adjourn to, hear 
and determine the matter of the charges. The

termine, and may restore said expelled member

titled to any of the rights or privileges of the

III. 

Any yacht using more space in the yacht 
harbor than is necessary, thereby excluding or 
inconveniencing another yacht, shall, when di- 
rected, drop back or pull ahead so that other 
yachts desiring to use the harbor, may do so. 
IV. 

No yacht shall work its engines while tied to 
the west bank of the harbor, on account of the 
possibility of undermining the sheet-piling, un- 
less said yacht is getting under way or making 
a landing. 



63 



All yachts while in the harbor are requested 
not to ring bells between the hours of 8 P. M. 
and 8 A. m., and are also requested not to make 
fast in front of occupied cottages provided there 
is plenty of room elsewhere. 



The Manager, or such employee of the Club 
as the Directors may designate, shall have the 
power of enforcing the foregoing rules.
